She looked too familiar!

Xia Jingshu muttered to herself as she looked assessingly at the woman in front of her.

She remembered seeing a woman who looked like her last night, her figure and hairstyle almost exactly the same. Most importantly, the woman from last night wore the exact same coat.

He Xiyan sensed someone staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable as she walked.

She turned to find herself facing a middle-aged lady who looked surprised.

“Aunty, is something the matter?” She asked in confusion, feeling baffled. She had only just moved to this place and other than Ye Hao and a few property management personnel, she did not know anyone else.

A beautiful smile spread across Xia Jingshu’s face and she looked kindly at her.

“Did you just move here?” Jingshu asked the woman. She was immediately attracted by this woman’s warmth and her lovely figure.

“Yes, do you live her too?” He Xiyan smiled politely at the lady. After all, this lady looked very kind and was probably of a similar age as her ex-mother-in-law, Li Qin. However, she looked much more friendly and so she let her guard down.

“Yes.” Xia Jingshun quickly reached out to shake He Xiyan’s hand. “Miss, I live in unit 07-02. We’re neighbors from now on so if you need anything, please feel free to come over.”

Xia Jingshu hurried to befriend this woman, anxious to help her son find a girlfriend. She had done almost everything but bring her son’s details to the park to help him find a partner.

He Xiyan frowned when she heard the unit number.

Could this person be…

She gave the lady a second look and the more she looked the more she thought she resembled him.

This lady was probably Ye Hao’s mother.

“Aunty, thanks for looking out for me.” He Xiyan nodded politely at Xia Jingshu and completely let down her guard. She guessed that his mother was probably the one who had taught Ye Hao to be so helpful.

They chatted as they walked and were soon on friendly terms with each other.

“What is your name?”

“Where do you work?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

…

Along the way, Xia Jingshu asked everything she had been dying to find out, as though she was conducting an investigation on her.

——

In another city.

After Xia Yuwei had completed her pregnancy examination, she pouted her red lips sulkily as she emerged from the hospital.

The sun shone on her beautiful face but it was clear that she did not feel any joy that an expectant mother would.

“Mum…” She called out Li Qin beside her. She was so angry she was about to explode.

“Mum, what is wrong with Yixuan? He ignores my calls most of the time and takes a long time to respond to my messages. It has been one month and yet I can count the number of times he has returned home with my five fingers.”

She had known that Yixuan was a cold person but she had not expected him to this cold. This was thoroughly maddening.

Li Qin hurriedly clasped Xia Yuwei’s hands in hers, as though afraid that she would walk off in her anger.

“Alright. Yuwei…it is the end of the year and I’m sure you know that there are many things to handle in the office. Yixuan has always been a workaholic and likes to attend to everything himself. He is at work earning money for you and your child.”

Li Qin explained helplessly, her face anxious. She was not too happy either.

The doctor had said that Yuwei’s HCG levels had doubled, which was not a good sign. She also knew that her son had changed and was refusing to return home even more. Even if he did return, he never said anything.

As for Yuwei, she had thought that this person was rather considerate when they had first met, but now she was complaining more and more frequently.
